Positions

Overview

OverviewText1

I carry out mechanistic studies of iron containing heme and non-heme metalloenzymes. I use standard molecular biology techniques to express and purify proteins of interest and study them using a variety of spectroscopic and kinetic techniques. The spectroscopic techniques I use include Mössbauer and EPR and kinetic studies involve stopped-flow, chemical and freeze-quench.

Supervision Statement

I currently have projects looking at a class of enzymes called the thiol dioxygenases that catalyse the oxidation of thiols to their respective sulfinates. These enzymes use a single iron atom in the active site coordinated to three histidine residues to carry out this reaction.
